Vini Scirto

Giuseppe Scirto grew up spending summers on Mount Etna with his grandfather, learning the rhythms of the volcano before he could name a grape variety. Valeria Franco came from a family with its own modest winemaking tradition. When they inherited Giuseppe's grandfather's 2.5-hectare plot in Passopisciaro in 2009, neither had a formal background in wine production. He had worked in IT, she in languages. What they had was a deep attachment to the land and a clear sense of what kind of wine they wanted to make.

Vini Scirto pressed its first grapes in 2010 and released its debut bottles in 2012. The project was always small and personal. Giuseppe named the wines after figures from his childhood: A'Colonna and Don Pippinu carry family memory alongside grape juice. The intention from the start was to maintain tradition while respecting nature, without the involvement of enologists or agronomists. Every decision comes from the couple themselves.
